Testimonials
"Overall Tina did a magnificent job and catered for maximum of 30 children at a time. She showed children a Powerpoint of volcanoes and then made one with the children. She was extremely knowledgeable and catered for everyone."
"Tina had a great way with the children and the language and information used was very well pitched for their age group. there was a good mixture of activities. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and the follow up worksheets were an excellent idea. they generated a lot of discussion back in the classroom. Tina was so helpful when contacted to arrange these fieldtrips. She answered all of our queries promptly and advised us of the Five Series Visit offer. As a result we have booked for 3 more trips for the autumn term."
